Self-Awareness and Its Effects01:21

Self-Awareness and Its Effects

318
Self-awareness is a psychological state in which the individual becomes the focal point of their attention. This inward focus transforms the self into an object of contemplation and assessment, influencing how individuals perceive their actions and their alignment with personal and societal standards.Triggers and Contexts for Self-AwarenessSelf-awareness can be activated by external stimuli that make individuals visually or audibly aware of themselves, such as mirrors, cameras, or recordings.

Altered States of Awareness01:06

Altered States of Awareness

1.2K
Altered states of consciousness represent significant deviations from one's normal mental state. These deviations can range from subtle changes in awareness to profound transformations in perception, thought processes, and sensory experiences. Altered states of consciousness can be triggered by various factors, including drug use, meditation, hypnosis, illness, or even intense fatigue.

Subconsciousness and No Awareness01:15

Subconsciousness and No Awareness

718
The concept of subconscious awareness refers to the processing of information below the level of conscious thought, which significantly influences both behaviors and decisions. It is also known as waking subconscious awareness. This complex level of cognition operates without the direct awareness of the individual, facilitating rapid and simultaneous handling of multiple information streams.
An illustrative example of subconscious processing is its role in problem-solving. Often, individuals...

High-Level and Low-Level Awareness

786
Controlled processes in human consciousness represent high-alert mental states where individuals deliberately focus their attention on achieving specific goals. Controlled processes can be seen in situations like mastering new technology, where a person might become so absorbed that they ignore surrounding distractions. Such processes involve selective attention, requiring one to concentrate on particular elements of experience while disregarding others. These are governed by executive...

Attitudes

33.2K
Attitude is our evaluation of a person, an idea, or an object. We have attitudes for many things ranging from products that we might pick up in the supermarket to people around the world to political policies. Typically, attitudes are favorable or unfavorable: positive or negative (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993). And, they have three components: an affective component (feelings), a behavioral component (the effect of the attitude on behavior), and a cognitive component (belief and knowledge;...

The Availability Heuristic01:08

The Availability Heuristic

7.1K
A heuristic is a general problem-solving framework (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). You can think of these as mental shortcuts that are used to solve problems. Different types of heuristics are used in different types of situations, and the impulse to use a heuristic occurs when one of five conditions is met (Pratkanis, 1989):

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Vulvar melanoma is a rare and aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis.
  • Limited research exists on the specific dermoscopic characteristics of vulvar melanoma.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the clinical and dermoscopic features of two vulvar melanoma cases.
  • To determine if established dermoscopic criteria for cutaneous nodular melanoma are applicable to vulvar melanoma.

Main Methods:

  • Case presentation of two patients with vulvar melanoma (ages 92 and 80).
  • Detailed clinical and dermoscopic evaluation of lesions.
  • Histopathological confirmation and staging of melanoma.
  • Literature review on dermoscopic features of vulvar and cutaneous nodular melanoma.

Main Results:

  • Case 1 (hypopigmented nodule): Dermoscopy showed structureless milky-red to white areas, basal brown pigmentation remnants, and polymorphic vessels.
  • Case 2 (pigmented nodule): Dermoscopy revealed structureless blue-gray areas with basal black dots and peripheral lines.
  • Both cases were histopathologically confirmed as stage III melanoma.

Conclusions:

  • Dermoscopic features observed in cutaneous nodular melanoma appear applicable to vulvar melanoma diagnosis.
  • Suspicion should be raised for genital plaques or nodules with polymorphic vascular patterns and blue-black colors in postmenopausal women.
